On December 22, Equality Maryland announced its endorsements in 37 races, including Maryland’s Gubernatorial race.
“We are proud to put our support behind the Brown/Ulman ticket for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. After meeting with the three declared Democratic candidates, we believe that Anthony Brown and Ken Ulman will be the most effective Governor and Lieutenant Governor for Equality Maryland’s issues and for the citizens of Maryland,” comments the group’s Executive Director, Carrie Evans.
PAC Chair, Tim Williams, notes “Equality Maryland’s PAC has worked since 2006 to help elect individuals who will fight for LGBT equality. It is remarkable that seven years later, we have come to a point where all three Democratic candidates for Governor are enthusiastically supportive of LGBT issues.”
Equality Maryland also announced its endorsement of 36 General Assembly candidates. These endorsements are for some of the incumbents who voted for The Civil Marriage Protections Act. All support Equality Maryland’s top legislative priority – The Fairness for All Marylanders Act, which expands current law to include anti-discrimination provisions for transgender Marylanders. All are Democrats.*
There will be at least one more round of endorsements from the Equality Maryland PAC in the coming months.
